Our committee is made up of dedicated volunteers who have a passion for creating, producing and performing in live theatre.
OUR TEAM PRESIDENT: Christopher Keuken [email protected] Chris is 21 years old and was one of the founding members of YouthARK Theatre. He is currently studying a diploma course of Live Production and Technical Services. His main ambition is to explore all aspects of theatre technologies and develop a career in providing technical services for performances and events. His favourite show is 'Matilda' because of the brilliant use of lighting and projection to both convey the story and create an atmosphere of magic and excitement that enthralls children in the wonder of theatre.
SECRETARY/FUNDRAISING AND SPONSORSHIP LIAISON: Candice Farrugia-Roberts [email protected] Candice is 18 years old and has been a member of YouthARK Theatre since its first full-length production in 2015. As a writer, director and performer, she believes that YouthARK Theatre will give her, and many others, the capacity to express themselves creatively and develop their abilities on and off of the stage. She believes that theatre does not create friends, it creates family. Although unable to identify a singular favourite, Candice adores all theatre that leaves the audience smiling for the sake of smiling.
REGISTRAR: Ashleigh Henry [email protected] Ashleigh is 20 years old and has been a member of YouthARK Theatre since its conception, and is so proud of how it has grown over the 4 years since beginning.
